Which, if any, of the following are true? 1: Each region of the neocortex may contain more specialized modules. 2: Damage to a given volume of neocortical tissue tends to be more profoundly disabling than damage to the same volume of the subcortex. 3: Functional neuro-imaging methods allow us to observe which brain regions are active.
Correct answer: C. 1 & 3
- A. 1 & 2
- B. 2 & 3
- C. 1 & 3
- D. None
Explanation
Neocortical regions can contain specialized functional modules, and functional imaging can show which regions are active. Statement 2 is generally false because a given volume of subcortical tissue can disrupt tightly concentrated functions more severely than an equal cortical volume.
